I love how today, in case we’ve forgotten where we’re going with this brave business, or in case we’re tempted to give up because words like purpose and brave can seem A LOT, Downs takes us to look at the small things. Small decisions matter.
More than a pep-talk how the small things to think and say and do can impact us over time in large ways, the questions the authors calls us to ponder with God put our whole brave journey into context.
Spend time today (or schedule time with God later) to pray about the parts of your life that, if they grew, would bring glory to God. Ask yourself what fulfills you and ask God what’s healthy for your heart. Don’t look down on any small things that come to your mind, you never know where a series of small steps might take you.
I heard a sermon yesterday on your kids and what makes them tick (with the focus on being a student of your child in order to train them and how you reach them) great timing to Annie’s question of what fulfills you, what’s healthy for your heart. I’m asking God about these matters for both my son and myself!
Great, Sarah! Why is often so kick easier to see these things in those we love but not ourselves? I don’t know?!?! Lol
